DESPITE a very battered domestic economy and  the urgent need to stop the ravaging of city/state budgets, PRESIDENT OBAMA is asking Congress for a supplemental (read fast track) $83 BILLION for IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.  A vote could come as early as next week.                                                        Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey blasted the request saying, "I cannot support either of these scenarios. Instead of attempting to find miliary solutions to the problems we face in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama must fundamentally change the mission in both countries to focus on promoting reconciliation, economic development, humanitarian aid and regional diplomatic efforts," (SF Chronicle 4/10/09)        ADDITIONALLY ALARMING are the cowardly, unmanned, missile-laden drones, programmed in Nevada, and released on the villages of  innocent civilians in PAKISTAN and AFGHANISTAN.  Let us remember others cherish their families as much as we do ours. THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE WE WENT TO THE POLLS FOR. Please join us for an hour or two on 3rd Friday or Saturday, (3/17-3/18) at a BART STATION or other public place to ask passers-by to protest this INSANITY. If you cannot be physically on the street, PLEASE call SENATOR B. BOXER @t (415) 403-0100) and SENATOR D. FEINSTEIN @ (415)393-0707 and SPEAKER N.
